A great Mausoleum with amazing size and detail. The Pharros in the front differ from those in the rear so make sure to walk around the entire Mausoleum. The Pharros are very detailed and make this a very unique burial site and monument.
What bittersweet beauty. Governor Stanford and family are buried in the family mausoleum. Take a moment next time your are passing through Palo Alto to explore the hidden gems on the expansive Stanford University Campus. The Egyptian inspired sculptures on the mausoleum are worth the stop. Just a few feet away is a bronze sculpture of the family, a weeping angel sculpture, and the cactus garden. Stop in the golden hour just before sunset for awesome and slightly eerie lighting.
A soothing environment next to an extensive succulent and cactus garden that has a beautiful variety of often blooming unusual plants. Outside this AZ garden are many native oaksA great place for children and adults to run, scooter and bikeLeashed dogs enjoy the shade and smellsClose walk to free Cantor Art Museum and Bing Performing Art Center
Serene place to stop and pay your respects to the Stanford family.
The Sphinxes on the front and back of the mausoleum are very cool
